Answer

False

Work Step by Step

Consider the expression \[5{{x}^{2}}=2x-7\] This can be rewritten as\[5{{x}^{2}}-2x+7=0\]. Compare the above with the quadratic equation \[a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c=0\] where, \[a=5,\ b=-2,\text{ and }c=7\] Therefore, the given statement is false. The true statement must be \[a=5,\ b=-2,\text{ and }c=7\].
